Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Hello, we are Emma and Elaya and came to the shelter together because our owner had to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, she can no longer take care of us and that's why we are looking for a new forever home together. Emma is the more outgoing of the two of us and loves to be petted and cuddled. I (Elaya) am still very reserved at first and need time to gain trust. The vet found that I unfortunately have heart disease and HCM. That's why I have to take a pill every day. I usually eat it well in a chew stick. Since I need to get my pill regularly, we are looking for an apartment with a netted balcony, because I need space to run around. Even though I'm a bit older, I still have my 5 minutes now and then 😉 Larger children who are familiar with cats, are quiet and can leave us alone sometimes, would probably not be a problem. If you have a written consent from the landlord for cat keeping, then please send an email to and tell us a bit about yourself and your living conditions.

Hallo, wir sind Emma und Elaya und kamen zusammen ins Tierheim, weil unsere Besitzerin ins Krankenhaus kam. Leider kann sie sich nicht mehr um uns kümmern und deswegen suchen wir GEMEINSAM ein neues Für-Immer-Zuhause. Emma ist die aufgeschlossenere von uns beiden und lässt sich sehr gerne streicheln und schmusen. Ich (Elaya) halte mich anfangs noch sehr zurück und brauche Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Beim Tierarzt wurde festgestellt, dass ich leider herzkrank bin und HCM habe. Deswegen muss ich täglich eine Tablette nehmen. Diese fresse ich normalerweise gut im Kaustängchen mit. Da ich regelmäßig meine Tablette kriegen muss, suchen wir eine Wohnung mit eingenetztem Balkon, denn ich brauche Platz zum Rumtoben. Auch wenn ich schon etwas älter bin, habe ich trotzdem noch ab und zu meine 5 Minuten 😉 Größere Kinder, die sich mit Katzen auskennen, ruhig sind und uns auch mal in Ruhe lassen können, wären vermutlich kein Problem. Wenn ihr eine schriftliche Einverständniserklärung für die Katzenhaltung vom Vermieter habt, dann schreibt doch gerne eine E-Mail an und erzähle darin etwas über dich und deine Haltungsbedingungen.

About Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya

What life with Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya looks like

Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Emma (geb. ca. 2011) und Elaya and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
